This research develops nanoscale “smart package” delivery systems for PROTAC cancer drugs. Antibody nanogel conjugates selectively target cancer cells, enter them, and release therapeutic molecules while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue. The approach improves delivery efficiency and aims to reduce the severe side effects that often limit cancer treatment.

This project develops an “Aptamer Express,” a DNA-based Trojan horse designed to bypass the brain’s protective barriers, target tumours, and deliver cancer-killing drugs directly to brain cancer cells. The approach aims to overcome treatment resistance, improve precision, and reduce side effects, offering new hope for patients and their families.
